Which describes the products created from fission reactions? question 3 options: a. smaller atoms made of new elements, and alpha and gamma particles b. larger atoms made of a new element, and free neutrons c. the same atoms rearranged into new molecules

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

Nuclear fission reactions are a type of nuclear reactions in which larger nuclei breaks apart into two or more smaller fragment releasing alpha, gamma of beta particles.

There are 3 types of particles that can be released during this process:

1. Alpha particles: These particles are released when a nuclei undergoes alpha-decay process.

2. Beta particles: These particles are released when a nuclei undergoes beta-minus decay process.

3. Gamma radiations: these radiations are released when an unstable nuclei gives off excess energy by a process of spontaneous electromagnetic process.

Hence, any of these particles can be released during the process of fission reaction with smaller atoms.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
